"Goalkeeper, Buffon; defense line from left to right, Zambrota, Nesta, Lucio and Zanetti; three midfielders, Pirlo, Emerson and Van Bomel; midfielder, Nedved; double strikers, Ronaldo and Van Nicht!"

This is the best main lineup for Inter Milan to be fully integrated. This is also the evaluation of Inter Milan by all Italian media before the game, believing that Yang Cheng will definitely show his strongest side to Manchester United.

However, in the Meazza Stadium and Inter Milan locker room, Yang Cheng drew his starting lineup on the tactical board.

"Goaler Buffon, the defense line is Zambrota, Nesta, Lucio and Cordoba, respectively, the midfield is Nedved, Pirlo, Emerson and Recoba respectively, and the two forwards are Ronaldo and Van Nie."

It was a 442 that no one guessed, but it was obvious that it was not exactly 442.

"In this game, Manchester United played away, and this team has had a very bad away record in the Champions League so far!"

As Yang Cheng said, he pointed to Paul Bayer beside him, and the German immediately walked out with a notebook.

"From the first round of the group stage, Manchester United has never won away games, with 2 draws and 2 losses!"

Yang Cheng had a look of his hands, "Did you see it? Manchester United can't play away. Ferguson's team can only perform fiercely at Old Trafford Stadium, but when they go outside and outside England, they will wither!"

Everyone raised their heads, stared at Yang Cheng, stared at the tactical board behind him, and stared at Paul Bayer.

"Our current situation is indeed not very good, but..." Yang Cheng made a face, "This is really nothing to me. If you check if you were to check when I led Kaiserslautern back then, our situation was much worse than it is now, but we finally qualified!"

“What’s the point?”

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly shook his head and laughed, "I've been outside all day long, saying that we rely on blood and fighting spirit. I'll go fucking, I can only scare children, we rely on strength!"

The players all laughed.

"Look at the players in our team at that time. After Beckham was injured in Manchester United, he was likely to use Beckham to play the right forward in this game, as well as Nedved, Van Nie, Lucio, De Nielsen... Now each one is the hottest star in football today. This shows the strength of our team at that time."

The players generally nodded in agreement. Now everyone praised the Kaiserslautern, the team that Yang Cheng coached back then, believing that they were the strongest team in the Champions League in recent years, and even no one.

"But I really, really..." Yang Cheng pressed his heart, "I really feel that our team is stronger than Kaiserslautern at that time, because we have the world's leading stars on all fronts, Ronnie, Van Nie, Batistuta on the front line; Emerson, Nedved, Pirlo and Van Bomel also have the ability to become top stars."

"We have soul core Nesta, Sanetti, Zambrota, and the goalkeeper is the world's chief goalkeeper Buffon..."

After Yang Cheng's knowledge of this, the players suddenly burst into laughter, but they could see that they all appreciate the head coach very much. After all, no one would dislike the praise from the boss, right?

"In my opinion, our only lack, yes, the only lack is our confidence!"

Yang Cheng raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the sky, "A confidence in being a top-level team!"

The players all began to be silent because they knew that what Yang Cheng said was the truth.

Inter Milan can play very well in the Serie A because they are originally a powerful Serie A. Even if they have been in decline for many years, they still have some psychological advantages against some civilian teams or Parma and the like. However, when they come to Europe, they lose this psychological advantage.

"Ferguson must be very confident now. In this game, we have to play offense. He will organize defense slowly and then counterattack. He will definitely adopt such a strategy because he is so treacherous, but I just want to do what he wants!"

Yang Cheng said it very sure, very firm, and there is no doubt.

"I just want to attack after the start of the game, crazy attack, why?"

After pausing, he continued to speak: "Because I want to take a look, I want to figure out whether my team can become the top team in Europe? Can my team bear the pressure that is enough to push people?"

"I'm going to do my best, I just want to attack! If you want to prove it to me, you're not a mess, then you'll defeat Manchester United and end the battle in the first half! But if you're the same as Inter Milan before, and you're just a bunch of mud that can't be helped, then don't fight. Even if we're allowed to qualify for the team, we'll just go to the knockout stage and make people laugh. Why bother?"

Yang Cheng took a breath slowly, came to the front of the tactical board, and slapped it heavily.

"I'll say it again. After the game, I want to attack. I want to see the unremitting attack. Pirlo and Emerson are responsible for organizing and sorting out the midfield. Nedved and Recoba stare at Manchester United's two wings, especially Recoba. Manchester United's left side is a fatal point, so you keep a close eye on me!"

"The right side guarded by Gary Neville is also a big hidden danger. His assisting ability is excellent. Pavel, entangle him and press him up. I want to use attack instead of defense so that he can't attack!"

Nedved and Recoba nodded frequently after hearing this.

"Midfielders should be careful. If it is Keane and Bellon, separate them. I don't want to see Bellon and Keane join forces. You must pay attention to the connection between them. Do you understand?"

"And, Ivan, your duty is Giggs!"

"Believe me, Manchester United plays defensive counterattacks, and they must be targeting our right, that is, their left. Giggs' speed in counterattacks is terrifying, so you have to keep an eye on him, you don't need to step forward to participate in the attack, but you have to defend Giggs to death. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cordoba nodded heavily and agreed.

As a defender, Cordoba's advantage is that his defense is very fast. Although Zanetti's forward ability is worse than Cordoba, he is really not as good as Cordoba in defense.

"Two side pressures, suppressing Manchester United's sideways, forcing them to turn into defense. Van Nie and Ronaldo in the middle should actively run and support them. Don't stay in the penalty area, pull more, run more, find more opportunities, separate Blanco and Stam, fight alone, and kill them!"

After hearing this, the two forwards nodded positively. They both knew how to crack this kind of defense. After all, they had practiced many times before the game.

"I hope all of you can understand that in such a critical game, what often determines the victory of the game is not just tactics, not just performance on the court, but also your willpower and your fighting spirit!"

"We Inter Milan have been in a downturn for too long. We haven't tasted that kind of taste, standing at the top of Europe and drinking champion champagne. If we use the oldest saying in the football field, Feng Shui will take turns to say, then can we say that Feng Shui should also flow to our doorstep?"

"I'm very confident, I can even say that as long as we win this game, win Manchester United, and qualify from the group, we will be able to show up at the Meacha Stadium on May 24!"

"If you can't even make you desperately win this game for this, then I have nothing to say!"

"You think about it carefully and take a closer look at your career. What have you gained, what have you lost, why have you gained, and why have you lost!"

After saying that, the entire locker room was quiet.

This makes the referee's ringtone to inform the entry of the referee to be extremely harsh.

All Inter Milan players stood up and quietly came to the door of the locker room, quietly hugged Yang Cheng, and then walked out of the door of the locker room.

After seeing off the last player, Yang Cheng also walked out of the locker room and closed the door casually.

It just so happened that Ferguson also walked out of the visiting team's locker room, and the two of them happened to hit each other.

"Hi, sir!" Yang Cheng greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Caesar!" Ferguson walked over with a red face and a smile on his face, "I brought my treasured red wine!"

"Is that true?" Yang Cheng pretended to be stunned, "Didn't I say it long ago? When I arrive in Milan, I'll treat you!"

Ferguson laughed, "My wine is good!"

"I don't usually drink a lot, but if I want to drink, I will drink my own!" Yang Cheng said tit-for-tat.

The two walked out one after another, and the players had already gone out.

"Remember, Jazz, don't open your wine to avoid wasting it!" After saying that, Yang Cheng and Ferguson shook hands at the exit of the player passage, turned around and walked towards the home team coach's seat.

…………

…………

When Ferguson walked to the visiting team's coaching seat, assistant McLaren came up.

"His starting lineup is a bit strange!" McLaren seemed a little impatient.

"What are you panic?" Ferguson reminded.

Then he looked up and saw Inter Milan players waiting for Manchester United to kick off according to their formation.

From Ferguson's perspective, the front line did not expect him, the key is the midfield and the right back on the defense line.

Cordoba's starting lineup can be said to be a trick by Yang Cheng to deal with Giggs, which is nothing, but the midfield change is a bit puzzled.

"It looks like 442. Is he going to attack the wing?" McLaren frowned.

His ambition is not just to be an assistant coach, so he usually thinks about it himself whenever he has the opportunity, see how those top coaches think about problems and learn how they coach.

For people like him, being able to study by Ferguson has really benefited a lot.

As the whistle sounded, Inter Milan's defense line was immediately pressed up, especially Nedved and Recoba on both sides. The two players pressed directly against Gary Neville and Weiss Brown.

In the midfield, Beckham was absent due to injury, Ferguson used Bellon to play the right forward, and Scholes was still in the front midfielder, but Inter Milan seemed to be unmoved at all, so they pressed directly and launched a siege and pressed in the frontcourt.

The ball was quickly cut off from Manchester United's feet by Inter Milan. It was a harassment by Van Nie in the frontcourt, and Nedved successfully intercepted it.

The Czech intercepted the ball in the left area of ​​the midfield and immediately knocked back to Pirlo. The Italian directly passed the ball over the top.

But this time, Ronaldo's anti-offside failed, and the lineman raised the offside flag high.

"Although it looks like it's on the left, Nedved's activity area is still very large..." McLaren expressed his impression.

Ferguson nodded, "Let them stabilize and hold on first!"

After all, this is Inter Milan's home court. No matter how fierce or arrogant they are, they still have to consider the away game.

…………

…………

"It's still not enough!" Yang Cheng shook his head, "It's still not enough!"

He came directly to the sidelines and made a gesture to strengthen the offensive pressure towards the players, indicating that they should attack more resolutely and thoroughly, especially on both sides, which is to take the initiative to attack!

"Manchester United is beginning to consciously stabilize their position!" Paul Bayer observed the situation seriously and analyzed.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Normal, Ferguson also knows that Manchester United's away combat effectiveness this season is very poor!"

It is because of this that he wants to attack!

"I believe that Manchester United's defense will make mistakes, whether it is Gary Neville, or Weiss Brown!"

Yang Cheng is very familiar with his disciple Beilong.

The Argentine is indeed very outstanding and talented, but after leaving Kaiserslautern, his mentality has changed. His performance at Manchester United is not as good as in Kaiserslautern. A very important reason is that he wants to be the main core and soul figure of the team.

But this team has Keane, so Beron can't do this!

If Manchester United is Beckham on the right in this game, Yang Cheng really dares not say anything, but Peron, he cannot protect Gary Neville like Beckham does.

"If you can't win this game, I guess all of Italy will be your enemy tomorrow!" Paul Baier smiled.
